ill do a nice highway pull when theres no traffic but not in the city, thats just stupid.

No joke lol The heat is killer when you're out there all day. That and the cars will run better with the cooler air Tires won't heat up as fast but you should have no problem heating those tires up lol

Chris,

Those tires are highly praised by a buddy of mine with an Infiniti M45. He prefers them to the other tires he's run on there and he's pretty hard on tires. Best of all, they have grip and are NOT noisy. He loves them.

And just go to Discount tire. If they mess something up just point it out and they'll fix it one way or the other.

chris, i always go to Discount tire. i ask my rep to have his best tech mount my tires. i always point out that the wheels are in flawless condition and that i want them to stay that way. i usually tip my rep $10 and my tech $10 if the job is done properly.

OK, I will use that technique....and I like the tipping idea also....makes them satisfied & they will do a good job for peeps to come.

Thanks man

That is kind of what I've been doing the last 6 months. Some small graphic design and photography work on the side. I had an internship lined up but I found out it was unpaid and I just couldn't do that this summer

Yup, 2 reason's why to tip well......to show appreciation for service, and to hopefully receive the same or better service the next time you go back.

An internship is your ticket to a job. I regret not doing an internship because I realize now that I really could have used that to my advantage. Even if it is unpaid you should try and make it work somehow.

And happy birthday.

I would have loved to do it but there was no way I could've done it this summer. The good thing is I'm technically still a Sophomore so I have two or three years of college left to try for an internship. I know I'm going to try and do one for sure. Hopefully a paid one hahaha

Whatever you do, get a real degree. Not something stupid like Political Science with an Emphasis in Foreign Relations, Pre-Law minor. Not like I know from experience, or anything.
